The Sitters & Company Story

The cofounders of Sitters & Company had more than a passing interest in the availability of qualified, reliable babysitters and pet sitters when they founded the Phoenix based company in 2006. Each married for over ten years, with five children between the two of them, they discovered the frustrations and fears of trying to find local, qualified sitters for their children and pets. Because of their experiences, the two former military officers set their minds to creating a service that eliminated the stress associated with finding and scheduling qualified babysitters and pet sitters without sacrificing peace of mind.

After months of searching for a local source of prescreened babysitters, the owners saw the need to bring together reliable babysitters, and connect them with busy yet discerning members. Their mission of providing an opportunity for our members to run errands, attend functions, or even enjoy some well deserved "me time" while making the wellbeing of their children and/or their pets the top priority was the driving force that gave rise to Sitters & Company.

About Sitters & Company

While the need for babysitters is not a new one, the demands placed on today's families make it more and more necessary.  Additionally, the trend towards job-related moves that often lead to leaving established networks of family and friends behind makes trustworthy babysitters more difficult to find than in years past.

Recognizing that the solution to these modern pressures lies in applying modern techniques and technologies to this traditional trade, Sitters & Company saw the opportunity to help facilitate family-sitter connections and to enhance relationships between the two via the web.
